To think that I once called you friend The changes that you put me through And now it seems a change of plan Is all that I could do for you Though your thoughts are on the ebbing tide And you'll whisper at another stranger's side Remember I'm the one who brought you your lady Leave your burning ships to die Maybe you'll wonder in your time And see the flame of mighty land The treasures of a thousand kings Lay buried in the drifting sand But you will go on your way Out of sight with nothing to say Remember I'm the one who brought you your lady Leave your burning ships to die
